ThingSpeak MQTT omits first field.

Using the ESP-IDF, I am experiencing an issue where I am posting to my thingspeak channel and the first field is omitted. I am recieving data on from subsequent points except for the first one. The payload string for testing is below, creating random numbers to send.
asprintf(&data, "field1=%d&field2=%d&field3=%d&field4=%d", rand()%120, rand()%120, rand()%120, rand()%140);
What is being sent in one post is:
data: field1=60&field2=87&field3=44&field4=111
A JSON export of the data recieved by thingspeak is:
{"created_at":"2020-09-09T19:33:32Z","entry_id":343,"field1":null,"field2":"63","field3":"117","field4":"115\"}","field5":null,"field6":null,"field7":null,"field8":null}]}
Can anyone comment on what can be done to fix this?

I think it is because you are missing an important separator in your request. Try modifying to
asprintf(&data, "?field1=%d&field2=%d&field3=%d&field4=%d", rand()%120, rand()%120, rand()%120, rand()%140);
Note the "?" before the "field1=".

I was able to use MQTT.fx client to publish all fields. Try as I might, I was unable to reproduce this issue.
Can you confirm with a 3rd party client that publishes to your channel work fine? If you can see the correct publish happening with MQTT.fx, for example, then I would start looking at your code or even the MQTT client you are using to see if it is the cause for what you're seeing.
